Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦘ has the Unicode code point U+2998. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2998 to binary:
00101001 10011000. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10100110 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2998, known as the Right Black Tortoise Shell Bracket, is a typographical symbol that has been designed for use in digital text. This special character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block in the Unicode Standard, which comprises symbols used primarily for technical purposes and not intended for general user interface usage. The Right Black Tortoise Shell Bracket (‹) and its pair, the Left Black Tortoise Shell Bracket (›), are inspired by traditional bracket shapes found in early Chinese texts and are often utilized to denote a range of values or indices in programming languages and mathematical notation. Though they may not be commonly used outside these technical contexts, they serve as an example of how Unicode aims to preserve unique typographic traditions from various cultures while expanding the capacity for digital communication across different languages and platforms.
